Africa-Press – Ethiopia. <\/strong><\/span>The Victory of Adwa was the beginning point of African resistance to colonization, and going forward we must really leverage on the victory to remobilize African brothers and sisters to face the present day challenges facing the continent, the Ugandan Pan-Africanist Richard Job Matua said.<\/p>\n

The Battle of Adwa took place in March 1896 when a well-disciplined and massive Ethiopian army did the unthinkable and brought Italy’s war of conquest in Africa to an end.<\/p>\n

In an exclusive interview with ENA, the Pan-Africanist Richard Job Matua said the victory reminds Africans that, when mobilized and organized, they can achieve greater victory even against superior powers.<\/p>\n

Ethiopian brothers and sisters from all corners of the country came together to defeat the invading Italian force in their attempt to colonize Ethiopia, he added.<\/p>\n

In an age of relentless European expansion, Ethiopia had successfully defended its independence and cast doubt upon an unshakable certainty of the age that sooner or later all Africans would fall under the rule of Europeans.<\/p>\n

This event opened a breach that would lead, in the aftermath of world war fifty years later, to the continent’s painful struggle for freedom from colonial rule, Matua elaborated.<\/p>\n

The Pan Africanist stated that the decisive victory galvanized African resistance to colonialization effectively, and prevented Ethiopia from being colonized.<\/p>\n

Therefore, leveraging on that victory, we Africans should take that victory as example of our own effort to defeat the present-day colonialization, he underscored.<\/p>\n

If we mobilize ourselves by always reminding the great Victory of Adwa, we can defeat the present-day colonialization, the Pan-Africanist said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Victory of Adwa was the beginning point of African resistance to colonization. It appears in the bottom of pan-Africanism. So, going forward, we must really leverage on the victory of Adwa to remobilize African brothers and sisters to face the present-day challenge facing the continent.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked about the Adwa Victory Memorial Museum to be inaugurated tomorrow, Matua said that it is very important to have the memory of the victory because such memory allows the young people who have never been educated about that victory.<\/p>\n

The Adwa Victory Memorial, a monumental project located at the center of the capital, encompasses a museum, meeting halls, amphitheater, library, art gallery, exhibition center, and other facilities, all dedicated to honoring the heroes and heroines of the historic triumph.<\/p>\n

The Pan Africanist finally stressed that \u201cremembering the Victory of Adwa is very significant. It is very important as a victory itself because it mentally prepares us the present-day Africans that we can actually defeat the current threats facing the continent.\u201d<\/p>\n
